Handbag

That's right - Mama got a new handbag today!  AND I AM LOVING IT!

No not gucci, not coach, nothing black or bleak or dark or murky - rather pretty with flowers to represent this stage in my life......(just hoping that stage is not saying "over 75 over 75...hahahah).

Have not carried a purse since the day Matteo was born - always with a diaper bag - well with no one in diapers and the accidents are left at the occasional glass of water, times are changing.  Though to be fair the diaper bag is in the front seat of my car ready to be broken out when at the park (as it is filled with snacks).

And today as we worked in our yard outside and Matteo & Chloe May enjoyed being covered (honestly) in dirt, a neighbor stopped by and said "you don't see too much of that anymore" - meaning kids playing in dirt.  I hope they never stop playing in dirt - just wish it didn't end up on the house :-) 

And finally, Happy St. Patrick's Day - complete with corned beef and cabbage again here on the lane and just as great as last time.
